Description-en: Version Control System for $HOME - multiple Git repositories in $HOME
vcsh allows you to have several git repositories, all maintaining their working
trees in $HOME without clobbering each other. That, in turn, means you can have
one repository per config set (zsh, vim, ssh, etc), picking and choosing which
configs you want to use on which machine.
